RIBA+VitrA: What's next for experimentation in architecture? is a panel discussion at the People's History Museum on 10 November 2026. The event examines the future role of experimentation within architectural culture.
What is the future of experimentation in architecture? Our panel discuss its importance and changing role in architectural culture. Bringing together practices working across the UK and beyond, this panel explores the legacies and value of experimentation in architecture today. Our speakers will challenge the notion that experimentation belongs only to radical forms or speculative projects through discussion of material inspiration, sensory design, collaboration, and holistic approaches with nature. From Studio Weave’s material innovations to Common Practice and their creative approaches to co-design, and Architecture Unknown’s exploration of participatory processes and collective making, experimentation continues to push the boundaries of contemporary practice and create new connections between people, materials, history, and culture. Where Giles Miller Studio’s applications of neuroscientific findings expand our understanding of sensory design, Mizzi Studio continues to innovate and create new holistic approaches to working with nature.
